Fine grained locking at the socket level?

Hi,

	It would seem that splnet() and frieds now simply return 0,
	which I figure is part of making the code look like it used
	to.  What I'm wondering is why the Giant lock is still used in
	the socket layer?  I thought sockets had had fine grained
	locking applied to them.  Am I confused?  I'm looking at the
	bits du jour (-CURRENT).

Thanks,
George
